Global Central Banks Continue Longest Gold-Buying-Spree Since Vietnam War

• The interesting question is NOT: Could it be that central banks are going to revalue their gold holdings many orders of magnitude higher and set the stage to implement a debt jubilee/forgiveness worldwide? Obviously they are! The interest question IS: Who is the man who will announce this debt forgiveness / jubilee? Who will re-institute peace and prosperity throughout the world? Who will be the ‘savior’ of the world facing global collapse, wars, chaos, genocide … ? Who will sign a ‘covenant of 7 years’ and bring about a great BOOM time in the first 3 and a half years? If you cannot figure out who I am hinting at, trust me, you are probably an IDIOT! I mean that lovingly, of course (wink wink).
